ORIGINAL PREFACE. 



WHEN 'a new production makes its appearance, which may 
probably supersede the use of some preceding publication, an apo- 
logy for it is generally expected. Hence it may be thought neces- 
sary to explain those inducements which were the occasion of a 
Treatise upon a similar plan ^vith one wliich has been some time ex- 
tant, and to point out a few particulars wherein the present work 
differs materially from the former. But, as it frequently happens that 
a man cannot support his own opinions, nor justify his own conduct, 
without animadverting, -ivlth some degree of severity, on what he 
considers to be erroneous in others; therefore, should any of the fol- 
lowing remarks appear harsh, or censorious, they ought rather to be 
imputed to a zeal for the cause we espouse, than to any degree of 
' malignity, or wilful intention to depreciate the works of others. 

Experience has evinced the expediency of the English Exfositok, 
as a School Book. Its rapid sale, during several years, has proved 
tliat the plan is judicious ; and had the execution of that work been 
equal to the utility of the scheme, this compilation had never been 
attempted. ^ 

The method here used, of dividing words into syllables, differs 
considerably from that of the English Expositor. We are firmly 
of opinion, with those great authorities, Sheridan, Entick, Robert- 
son, and some others, that the present mode of dividing words (no^ 
withstanding its having the sanction of custom) is utterly wrong, 
and adapted rather to puzzle and impede, than to facilitate and pro- 
mote the improvement of the learner. What we apprehend to be 
the most natural, and by far the most eligible manner, in every res- 
pect, is to attend to the sound of the letters, as they are articulated 
in a just and accurate pronunciation ; without any regard to formal 
rules, or the different distribution of vowels and consonants. The 
pecwYmr formation and the euphony of language ought certaiiJy to 
be more prevalent than the mere significancy of a radical syllable. 

With the experienced and judicious, especially such as have calmly 
considered the subject, there T^dll be but little necessity for persuasive 
arguments : but, with respect to some others, a few hints byway of 
elucidation may, perhaps, be neither unnecessary nor unimportant 

A 2 



^^ PREFACE. I 

By the common mode of dividing words, the cM/ is VimpeUed 
to give two different sounds to the same syUable, ^ n spelling the 
same word; for example: ci-vil, co-lumn, co-met, ct-tci-ad, ci-vu 
tize, li-^ber-ty, e-pi-de-mUal, &c. &c. Take one of these words, 
lor instance, civilize. When \h^ learner has spelled the word as it 
IS divided above, he will natm-aliy put it together thus,— cy-^;y-/^z6 ; 
that is, he wiU gxsQ to every syllable a long sound. In short, this 
method of division is, in every view of it, guiding the child by the 
ear into a false or ^dcious pronunciation. Let the above words then 
be divided thus: C2i>-i7, col-imm, coin-et, cit-a-del, civ-il-ize, lib- 
eMy, ep4-dem-i-caL These few instances may suffice to convince 
any unprejudiced person how much more naturally the proper sound 
of these words will be conveyed to a child's ear by the latter method, 
than by the former. But the mind is drawn with re»luctance from 
any thing it has been long conversant with, and to which it has be- 
come familiarized ; and customs of any kind, which have taken such 
deep root by length of time, are not speedily eradicated. 

The sound of ti, si, appears to us so uncouth and unnatural, that 
we have never made ti a distinct syllable, except where t retains 
its natural sound. The syllables, tion, shim, tial, shall, &c. seem 
easy and unaffected, and no ways incompatible Vith the euphony of 
the language ; but the syllables tions, tient, &c. in the words fac- 
tion, pa-tient, fic-ti-tious, in-fec-tious, ex-pa-tiate, Sec. we are 
sufficiently aware will be a little disgusting to some ; but this may 
be owing merely to the effect of custom ; and practice will cer- 
tainly render them more familiar, and less offensive to the ear. 

Many of onr predecessors in this line of publication have in their 
prefatory accounts (apparently) preferred the mode of divisions 
here adopted; but, as if fearful of incurrhig the opprobrium of 
innovation and singularity, have beaten the old ti'ack, without the 
least deviation ; and it is astonishing, and much to be lamented, that 
amongst the very great number of Spelling-books extant, thei\i is 
only one (the price of which is 3s.) that is properly adapted to be- 
ginners. It is a fact founded on experience, that children in general 
would attain a good proficiency in spelling by the method here ex- 
hibited, in little more than half the time usually employed for that 
purpose. 

The advocates for the old method frequently express themselves 
m language something like the following '.—'' The old way has served 
till now we have been accustomed to teach in this manner it 



PRL.ACE. r 

isanan':iti* custom and therefore, &c.** — All this i-^ granted: 

but this mam er of reasoning produces the strongest arguments for 
Jts abolition ; and he who is so prepossessed and opinionated as to 
adhere to any principle, merely because it is old ; and who refuses to 
exchange a custom, though ever so ancient, for one which experience 
hath irrefragably proved to be much better adapted to answer his 
purpose : that man, manifestly, makes a sacrifice of reason and truth 

to prejudice, or to something worse. But to proceed : the final k 

after r, in words derived from the learned languages, though carefully 
retained by Dr. Johnson, and other ^^Titers, has by us been omitted, 
in conformity to modern custom and the originals. For it seems 
rather incongruous, as Dr. Ash observes, to write mnsick, from 
7nusicn ; pnhlick, from pnhlicus, &c. especially as the k has been 
exploded, by general consent, from the derivative music al, &c. 

The letter ii has, by many modern writers been omitted, in the 
wor As y favour, honour, labour, splendour, &c. and they seem to 
prefer honor, labor, &c. as more modern, and a more correct spell- 
ing from i\ie latin; we think the um these words quite unnecessary, 
and have omitted it in the present edition. 

But the more weighty objection we had against using the English 
Expositor in our schools, was, the great number of inelegant and 
indeceni expressions it contained. — These words, and the definitions 
affixed to them, have been justly looked upon as enormities,vj\\\ch 
ought by no means to have any place in a book designed for children. 
This kind of language, (to use the words of Dii. Percival) ^' hath 
a tendency to wound the native modesty of untainted youth, whose 
minds are susceptible of such ideas. To young readers it admits of 
no explanation. There is a delicacy and sense of decency in the 
mind of an ingenuous youth, which shields him more powerfully 
from seduction, than the best lessons of morality, or the brightest ex- 
amples of self-government. This tender shoot of vernal life is often 
injured by improper culture ; it shrinks at the suggestion of every 
loose idea ; and is blasted by their frequent and unreasonable repe- 
tition." 

After having thus declared our disapprobation of such a procedure, 
.*t seems unnecessary to inform our readers tliat we have been careful, 
in this compilation, to avoid every mode of speech which might seem 
to have the least tendency to draw a blush from the cheek of modesty 
or to otfeud the ears of the more chaste and aelicate

/* 



The New Expositor has been before the Public too long to need 
any explanation of its plan^ and has been honoured with too high a 
degree of patronage and approbation^ to require any apology for its 
publication. The Publishers feel grateful for that approbation ; 
and, desirous of keeping pace with the general improvement in 
Elementary Books which distinguishes the age, and of perpetuating 
the patronage which the rapid sale of thirty -two large Editions 
proves the Work to have received, they committed it to the present 
Editor, previously to its being newly stereotyped, to revise It 
throughout, and to enlarge its several departments by the addition 
of such valuable matter as the use of a smaller type (but equally 
conspicuous -vvith that used in the former editions,) would enable him 
to introduce. 

The Editor has endeavoured to fulfil the wishes of the Publishers, 
by comparing every definition with the standard authorities ; by 
affixing the parts of speech to the words in the Spelling Tables 5 and 
by placing the accenttml sign over the proper syllable in every word, 
instead of (as in the former Editions) affixing it to one word only, 
until the accent became changed : by this the improvement of the 
Pupil will be facilitated, and erroneous pronunciation prevented. 
This part of the work is enlarged by the introduction, in their proper 
order, of several hundred words. The Historical and Chronological 
Departments have been also considerably enlarged, and rendered 
much more explicit than in the former Editions. The Pupil is fur- 
nished in these Tables with correct memoranda of those important 
events which distinguished the several aeras in which they occurred. 
Other miscellaneous and interesting matter will also be found in the 
present edition. 

The Editor ventures to express his belief, that the work is now 
rendered, what its Publishers intended it should be -substantially 
correct, and considerably improved.

II. OF ASIA. 



ASIA is the largest and richest quarter of tlie globe. Its climate is 
more serene than that of Europe, and its fertility remarkable ; producing 
the most delicious fruits, spices, and gums. It occupies a distinguished 
place in both Sacred and Profane History. Here our first parents Trera 
placed on their creation — the Patriarchs lived — the Law was given by 
Moses — Here Jesus Christ, the Saviour of Mankind, was born, and lived^ 
€md suffered death for the salvation of the human race. It was also 
the seat of those mighty empires, Babylon, Assyria, and Persia, the fa- 
mous cities of which are now the habitations of wild beasts.

III. OF AFRICA. 



AFRICA is the tiiird of the great divisions of the globe. Tiie greatest 
part of it lies under the torrid zone ; the heat is consequently insupport- 
a±Je by Europeans. Its productions are gold, fruit, gums, &c. The na- 
tives have suflfer*d much from those monsters in human shape, the slave- 
dealers ; b}^ whom they have been torn by thousands, from their country 
and homes, and exported to the West Indies. England has taken the 
lead in the abolition of this horrid traffic ; and it is to be hoped that 
ev^' nation will be induced to treat those who engage in it as enemies to the 
human spocies.

* Ireland was subjugated by Henry II. in 1172, and has ever since been subject to the Eng- 
lish Crowii. It was united, and its Parliament incorporated v/ith that of Great Britain, 
in 1801. 

t The conquest of Wales was effected in 1285, by Edward I. who conferred on his eldest 
son iJie title of Prince of Wales j which has been borne ever since by the eldest sens of 
tlie Kings of England. 

X Edward V. and his brother, after having been smothered in the Tower, were buried under 
the stairs ; their bones were removed, by order of Charles II. in 1674, to Westminster Abbey, 
and a monument erected to their memory. 

I James 11. having, in the most arbitrary manner, endeavoured to introduce Popery, and 
EUDfertthe fundamental laws of the kingdom, occasioned the glorious Revolution in 1688^ when 
he was declared to have abdicated the government -, which was conferred by Parliament on 
William and Mai-v, and the succession subsequently fixed in the Protestant descendants of the 
Princess Sopliia oiF Brunswick, mother t)f George I . 

S The Union between England and Scotland took place May l, 1707.

THEOLOGY is that science wliicli contemplates the nature and 
perfections of God^ or the Deity; discovers his attributes to man- 
kind ; the relation we stand in to him as our Creator ; and the various 
duties "we owe to him^ and to one another^ in consequence of such 
a relation. 

ETHICS, or Morality (sometimes called Moral Philosophy) 
is the science which teaches the discipline of Manners^ and pre- 
scribes rules for the oeconomy and conduct of human life^ under 
all tlie relations we stand in to the Divine Beings and to one ano- 
ther ; in order to attain the stimmum bonum, or greatest felicity, of 
which our natures are capable. 

The Pagan Heathen ivorld, having had no divine revelation in 
the earliest ages, and as they could not but be convinced T)f the ex- 
istence of a Deity, from the obvious marks of infiitite ivisdotn and 
power m the frame of the world, and t]ie structure of all kinds of 
bodies therein ; so, by the dictates of common reason, tliev were led 
to consider that he must be the object oi worship and adoration 
but in what manner tliis was to be instituted, they were utterly ig- 
norant, and left to their own inventions. 

MYTHOLOGY consists in a 'moral, theological, andphysical 
interpretation of the fabnlous histories of the Heathen Deities 
Demi-godsy Heroes, Monsters, 8cc.

water, it is commonly called the terraqueous Globe. Also^ that 
part which iTeats of the land is more properly called Geography ; 
as tjie other;, which treats of the water, or aqueous surface^ is . 
called Hydrography, 

- CHRONOLOGY is the science which treats of the nature, parts, 

and measures of time. Time is the duration of things ; i\& parts

THE ancient Romans, who invaded Britain about 45 years before 
the birth of Jesus Christ, were idolaters, or heathens ; and from 
them our ancestors derived the names of the months, which are still

derived) were heathens ; and from them were derived the names of 
tlie days of the week, in the manner following :

round the sun, which is 365d. 5h. 49m. nearly.
